We’re building a community of artists, a dynamic network of fearless, original visionaries to be considered for upcoming paid opportunities, collaborations, focus groups and commissioned activations throughout 2025 and beyond.
Are you a multidisciplinary artist, designer, facilitator or creative technologist who understands the power of collaboration, storytelling and innovation to inspire change? Do you thrive in spaces where art meets activism, heritage meets future-thinking and community sits at the centre? We want to hear from you.
We know you didn’t become an creative to fill out funding forms or wait for gatekeepers to approve your dream.. that’s why we’re doing things differently. We aim to find SMARTER, more responsive ways to recruit.
We’re starting with an open call for culturally curious artists who are ready to work, with a desire to learn new ways to collaborate. A community keen to experiment with emerging technology in their practice. So when a project comes up, we can reach out to the perfect person for the job quickly.
Get first access to paid opportunities collaborating with us and a network of artists across art, performance, immersive projects, digital commissions and more.
Receive exclusive invites to workshops, mentorships and collaborations with tech experts so you can understand, access training and explore innovations as we expand our ecosystem. We offer multi disciplinary sessions, growth sprints, drop-in coaching, business marketing support and artist-first mentoring.
Build your network and grow your audience with the help of our shared community. Our partnerships and profile help you achieve international visibility and secure creative collaborations.
Find out more about emerging tech and decentralised ownership models that go beyond NFTs, fractional ownership and crowd commissioning. To ensure that you retain rights and earn ongoing revenue from your work.
Technology is moving fast. To protect your livelihood, it’s the right time to pursue alternative ways to fund, create, distribute and validate your work. We understand being an artist isn’t easy, it’s staggering that 91% of artists earn less than £10,000 a year from their practice* and 70% do not earn a living wage from their work to be financially sustainable. We’re here to change that.
By launching a community promoting our paid opportunities and resources, we hope to develop artist resilience during these challenging times. Together we can figure out how emerging technology can work for your practice, so you can start to put your back end admin on autopilot and focus on what you love without the overwhelm.

Let’s be straight with you, this is not for you if..
We’re living in an unprecedented age, AI, emerging tech and an under funded arts sector means independent multidisciplinary artists are at risk of losing their livelihood. Exasperating the inequity across the cultural and entertainment industry is lack of digital awareness, skills and resources to explore how emerging tech can help grow your creative business.
Our aim is to help artists work SMART, stay relevant and evolve. We break everything down in simple, human language. No tech jargon. No pressure. Just what feels right for you, driven by artists at your pace, with step-by-step guides and support already using these tools at best to make our collaborations easier.
Doing “okay” today, isn’t ownership or sustainable in the future. The fact is, the old legacy systems and ways of working are changing faster than the industry can keep up with. Fund raising, venues, brokers and agents are all making profits from your work before you do and that applies to most creative disciplines. All the same pain points remain, from the risk of copyright infringement to shifting buyer demand. Our aim is to build long-term creative sovereignty for independent, under-represented artists to open new doors to community-backed, globally connected income streams.
We understand. That’s why we thought about a slower approach to recruitment into a community. It can be stressful juggling paid work and applying for creative opportunities. In addition we want to break the cycle of underpaid gigs and patchy funding, by giving you the tools, visibility and community to start growing a sustainable income.
Applying to join our community allows us to recruit faster, diversify our offer, we offer additional value to help you increase your income, not drain it. You’ll gain real strategies to create, fund and grow your work, even with zero budget.
We hope you’ll tackle isolation and join a friendly community that are focused in building together without the uncertainty and time spent on applying for grants. We explore alternative revenue streams in a transparent way and use tech powered by the community to save you money on the marketing, operational and administrative costs by sharing the load.
So you can reduce your time form filling and admin and begin to learn new skills, collaborate and grow your practice. We know this is important to stay informed. You get peer support, early access to commissions and opportunities and a real sense of movement and momentum within a growing community.
